He may not tuned up yet, though he could win this on class. It will be good to see MM return. What's it been 9 months I believe?

The Waz... running Dinner in Odem over his head for the 50th straight time... Cannot say the man isn't optimistic.

There is a reason he was 5% trainer last year. He's an idiot.

Ditto from me. I hope he runs well today.

MUSKET MAN hung 5 wide prompting the early pace, gained a short lead after a half then resisted gamely when challenged through a long drive and narrowly prevailed while fully extnded.

I'm really glad he held on to win. Not a bad outing considering he's been off since the Preakness.

Lost in the return of Musket Man was the fantastic effort of Guam Typhoon. A half to Miss Isella (who certainly got better with age), he has every right to move forward this year and if he does he could be a nice sidekick to Capt. Candyman Can for Ian Wilkes.

I must say that every time this colt has gone more than 8f, he has far exceeded my expectations. He's a very nce horse and his return showed it. Remember, he was beaten only 1 1/2 by RA in the Preakness.

I think that is a very good point as it was RA's best race. He didnt run the type of race she did but it was still pretty good. I think you can toss the distance stereotypes on Musket Man he is a running and very honest
